Review:

"In 2003 Alan Warner was one of Granta's 20 Best Young British Novelists, and quite right too - he's a writer of stunning originality" -- Kate Saunders * The Times * "The Worms Can Carry Me to Heaven is one man's story, funny, moving, swollen with lust and high anxities, sombre in moments, momentously memorable in passages of lyrical intensity, where it sings with a potent underlying sadness" -- Tom Adair * Scotsman * "Funny, profound, shocking and provocative" -- Henry Sutton * Esquire * "An extraordinary novel... contains beautiful writing...[and] moments of superb deadpan comedy" -- Niall Griffiths * Guardian * "Macabre and bizarre... It doesn't lack heart, but only hides it. That in itself... is rather brilliant" * Spectator *
